Oklahoma houses 10 distinct ecological regions, more per square mile than any other state.  With 4 primary mountain ranges, subtropical forests and arid plains, the Sooner state is breathtaking and diverse in its beauty.  Here are 10 stunning photos we found that will remind you why Oklahoma is the best state:
